Couple, man killed in separate Detroit house fires

DETROIT (AP) — Detroit authorities are investigating the deaths of three people in two overnight house fires.

WWJ-AM says an elderly couple died in a fire at their home on the city’s west side. Friends and family identify them as 77-year-old Kyle Bozeman and 71-year-old Theresa Bozeman.

The Detroit Free Press says the fire was reported about 4:30 a.m. and doesn’t appear suspicious.

WXYZ-TV and WDIV-TV say a man was killed in a fire about 1 a.m. Sunday at another west side home. Family members say the house didn’t have electricity, and the 43-year-old man was using a generator to supply power for heat.
